“For anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. Back then it was not sleeping even when the baby sleeps. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.”
“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. I remember my husband back at work after two weeks like it was yesterday. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy.”
“To the new mum reading this: I know you are scared and ashamed. I was too. But you are not a bad mother for having these thoughts. It is the illness, not you. Tell one person, a nurse, a friend, your mum. Get help. It might take time, and the first medicine might not work, but keep trying. You will laugh again. I promise. And if you can't believe that yet, let someone else believe it for you. It is okay to need help. It is not your fault.”
“I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I alwys freeze. Keep going, even slowly.”
